Department of Mechanics was established 1976, right from the early days of the University inception. This is a core department of the faculty which provides fundamental and specialized knowledge for civil engineering and engineering mechanics in general. Department of Mechanics has a strong force of lecturers and researchers. The department covers courses from undergraduate to graduate level. We are in charge of a PhD program on Engineering mechanics for graduate students. In recent years, besides training activities we have also focused on scientific research and technology transfer such as chairing many scientific research projects, publishing many scientific articles at national and international journals, guiding students in doing scientific research. The Department has a modern mechanical laboratory served for teaching, research activities and technology transfer.
